“The genesis of Simile was a years-long research arc at Stanford, beginning with GPT-3-era experiments and culminating in a validated claim: simulations can predict human behavior with meaningful accuracy.”

“We basically created generative agents that is paired with generative AI model with memory, planning and reflection to basically create this lived experience of agents living in this small town.”

“You actually start to see divergence in model size going up and the performance in its ability to predict and simulate human behavior. So we have sort of plateaued with current modeling paradigm, our ability to really simulate humans.”

“If you look at many of the large language model companies, whether it's OpenAI, Anthropic and many of the new labs that are getting formed, the models they are creating are models that I would consider to be... meant to be rational... supposed to be really amazing at tackling problems that have an objective answer.”
